#16 The Sponge Worm
Native to the first moon of Abrasax, the Sponge Worm is the ultimate desert survivor. The sponge-like structure at the top of it’s head absorbs any moisture while the worm rests in the early morning and at dusk, while it’s disarmingly goofy appearance allows it to get close enough to its human prey to strike with it skin-flayingly sharp teeth.
This particular worm is at the end of it’s life cycle, shedding the young that have been slowly eating away at it’s insides for the last century.
This guy makes me snicker because he does indeed look goofy. Their reproduction must be painful.
